IF he does, it’ll be in 2015 when he does. Too much to lose in those midterms to give the wingnuts another thing to rally around.

I hate to say it, but I think there’s a strong racial issue involved in the dems opposing the war on drugs. Right now the democrats dominate even the most socially conservative portions of the minority population, but it’s a very thin tightrope they walk, and there just aren’t enough libertarians on the other side to recoup the potential losses in their eyes. Not sure that’s how it would really play out, but I think that’s the politics of it.
